Open to us, Lord, your great Door, 0 Fountain of all mercy, hear our
prayer and have mercy on our souls. Lord of the morning and ruler of
all seasons, hear our prayer and have mercy on our souls. Shine upon
me, Lord, and I shall be Light like the day; I will sing your praise
in Light while I marvel; may the morning awaken me to the praise of
your Godhead and I will pursue the study of your Word all the day
long. With the day may your Light shine on our thoughts and may it
drive away the shadows of error from our souls. The creation is full
of Light, give Light also to our hearts that they may praise you with
the day and the night.

(Syrian Orthodox Prayer)

Rise up, 0 children of Light, and let us give glory to the Lord who
alone can save our souls. 0 Lord, as you withdraw sleep from the eyes
of our body, grant us wakefulness of mind so that we may stand before
you in awe and sing your praises worthily.

(Syrian Orthodox Prayer)
